Fiakonya D/A Basic School partners with RecellGhana Computerlabs for Sustainable Digital Literacy in the School

Fiakonya D/A Basic School in Dodowa in the greater Accra region of Ghana has partnered with RecellGhana Computerlabs to provide sustainable Digital Education in the school. The partnership aims to empower both the school’s educators and learners with the relevant digital literacy and skills they need to prepare them for the technological, digital, and data-driven world.

RecellGhana Computerlabs implemented its side of the partnership by setting up an ultra-modern computer lab with 21 workstations. The state-of-the-art computer lab is equipped with UPS units and backup batteries, a router for internet connectivity, a server, and thin clients.

The computing facilitator will have access to a dedicated workstation, while students will have access to 20 workstations, ensuring that each learner has their workstation during computing lessons.

The teachers are now equipped, confident, and ready to elevate digital education in their schools. The computer lab includes services for the maintenance, replacement, and repair of damaged computer parts, along with remote monitoring, a help desk, and teacher training.

On November 26th, 2024, RecellGhana Computerlabs conducted a base training session for the educators of Fiankonya School to initiate the use of the computer lab. The training covered the fundamental components of RGC’s computer labs, including both hardware and software.

As part of our mandatory service to partners, RGC offers a comprehensive four-stage training program designed to equip teachers with the technological knowledge and skills needed in today’s modern era. This training will enable educators to integrate technology effectively into their teaching and enhance their productivity in the workplace.

The teacher training is valuable for educators, as data indicates that many teachers in Ghana are not technologically or digitally proficient, resulting in a lack of the necessary computing resources to effectively teach students.

The four types of training conducted by RecellGhana Computerlabs are;

Base Training: The base training focuses on empowering teachers with the essential skills to effectively utilize our computer labs for teaching. This foundational training ensures educators can confidently navigate the basics and integrate digital tools into their lessons.

Bronze Training: The training is designed specifically for computing facilitators and ICT coordinators, the training enables mastery of the National ICT Curriculum and the full spectrum of our application landscape. It emphasizes challenge-based and project-based learning, preparing facilitators to lead innovative and interactive digital education.

Silver Training: The silver training is also tailored for teachers of other subjects, this training demonstrates how to leverage our computer labs to enhance lessons in STEM, Geography, History, and more. It equips educators with the skills to integrate digital resources into their teaching, enriching the learning experience across diverse disciplines.

Gold Training: This is aimed at experienced computer lab teachers and coordinators, this level focuses on developing them into trainers for their peers. Participants learn to deliver the BASE training, fostering a community of knowledgeable and skilled educators who can support their colleagues in digital teaching.
